However, the transition to a solely PHL based health information management (HIM) will, at the very least, take a very long time. It is more likely therefore to co-evolve with our current systems for HIMs. In this emerging scenario, the traditional obstacles of data integration among autonomous HIMs face novel challenges. Additionally, the goal to make PHLs responsive to open-ended and personalized health information needs adds unknown wrinkles to current challenges. In this paper, we propose a new architecture, and a knowledge-based information retrieval and processing model for PHLs. We show that by using a declarative data integration language, a knowledge representation scheme and knowledge graph induction technique from health information texts, we are able to respond to patient queries in unprecedented ways in the context of their PHLs.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"167 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73809484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COVID-19 incubates in a patient for 7 days before symptoms manifest. The identification of the presence of COVID-19 is challenging as its symptoms are similar to influenza symptoms such as cough, cold, runny nose, and chills. COVID-19 affects human speech sub-systems involved in respiration, phonation, and articulation. We propose a deep anomaly detection framework for passive, speech-based detection of COVID-related anomalies in voice samples of COVID-19 affected individuals. The low percentage of positive cases and extreme imbalance in available COVID audio datasets present a challenge to machine learning classifiers but create an opportunity to utilize anomaly detection techniques. We investigate COVID detection from audio using various types of deep anomaly detectors and convolutional autoencoders. Contrastive loss methods are also explored to force our models to learn discrepancies between COVID and non-COVID cough data representations. In contrast with prior work that controlled data collection, our work focuses on crowdsourced datasets that are true representatives of the general population. In rigorous evaluation, the variational autoencoder with the elliptic envelope as the anomaly detector analyzing Mel Filterbanks audio representations performed best with an AUC of 0.65, outperforming the state of the art.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"152 1","pages":"114-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75840722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the open communication network for sensitive medical data transfer is giving rise to vulnerabilities and security concerns. To prevent adversarial manipulation of sensor measurements, SDHS IoMT controllers leverage anomaly detection systems on top of the disease classification systems. Machine learning (ML) is one of the most effective techniques for providing experience-based automated decision-making models. These models generalize well to produce the expected output for the unseen inputs from the learned patterns. Therefore, ML-based models are currently being adopted to automate the anomaly detection and disease classification tasks of SDHS. In this work, we consider a SDHS that uses supervised ML models for patient status/disease classification and unsupervised ML models for anomaly detection. However, the performance of the ML models largely depends on hyper-parameter tuning. Finding the optimal hyper-parameter is a challenging task, and it becomes more difficult and time-consuming in high-dimensional feature space. In this work, we propose BIOCAD, a comprehensive bio-inspired optimization framework for SDHS data classification and anomaly detection. The framework leverages a novel fitness function for unsu-pervised anomaly detection ML models. We experiment with state-of-the-art datasets - the Pima Indians diabetes dataset, the Parkinson dataset, and the University of Queensland vital signs (UQVS) dataset for validating our proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"1 1","pages":"48-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76049055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While public health interventions have reduced its spread and vaccines are being deployed, passive detection methods are needed to detect infections and early track its resurgence. Wearables that are widely owned can gather various physiological and activity data, presenting an opportunity to detect COVID-19 unobtrusively. COVID-19 infection causes deviations in the vital physiological signs and activity patterns of infected users. However, similar deviations of these same variables can also be affected by non-COVID factors, confounding the signals. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of predicting COVID-19 infection to detect abnormalities in heart rate, activity (steps), and sleep data available on low-end wearables by using machine learning. Prior work utilized data such as oxygen saturation that is only available on clinical-grade equipment or expensive wearables. We extracted 43 statistical features (standard deviation, mean, slope) and behavioral (min/max/avg length of sedentary and active bouts, sleep duration, no. of awake/asleep/restless samples) from wearable sensor data. We classified these features using machine learning classification and anomaly detection algorithms. Physical activity features were the most predictive (min length of the sedentary and active bout), yielding an AUC-ROC of 78% [specificity=74%, sensitivity=69%] when classified using Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs). We also found that sleep irregularities had low discriminative performance. COVID-19 detection using inexpensive wearables can facilitate population-level interventions.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"26 1","pages":"80-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82871389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key lessons are 1) To adapt to the continuously changing health information needs, a system instrumented with actor-based conceptual model is a natural fit; 2) A dedicated domain actor-based data model provides the foundation for streamlining the stakeholders' needs and effective management of information systems assets of a hospital, and the key is bridging the gaps between the different levels of abstraction and the multi-perspectives of actors; 3) actors with learning ability can help the continuous observation and optimization of system-level qualities.

It appears in various medical jobs, such as triage, diagnosis, and pathologic analysis. Many classification algorithms studied in machine learning can be chosen to help solve these tasks. However, due to the special nature of the medical industry, its data sets show a character of imbalance. Namely, the data are skewed distributed in different classes. Unfortunately, the classification problem of imbalanced data has a reputation of classic and hard-to-solve in data mining and artificial intelligence research community. What's worse, most proposed classification methods are designed to deal with binary classification case, while the common scenario in medical intelligence applications is multi-classification. To deal with this, a pre-processing structure called Cost-Sensitive Variable Neighbour Search (CSVNS) is proposed in this paper. It combines the ideas of sampling and cost-sensitive, which are two most commonly used strategies for multi-class imbalanced data classification tasks. As for the sampling process, a double-stack Variable Neighbour Search (VNS) structure is introduced and 15 different neighborhood structures are designed to help optimizing the process. Also, the classes are allocated different weights to improve the classifier's classification capacity. In the experiment part, the proposed method is evaluated on 4 medical data sets. $G$ - mean and mAUC are selected to represent the method's performance in medical classification tasks. Experimental results show the proposed method outperforms the classic methods in most situations. In the end, 3 extra data sets are tested to demonstrate the algorithms' scalability.","PeriodicalId":93401,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH)","volume":"1 1","pages":"178-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90202190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
